Once Upon A Time...In A Galaxy Far Far Away....There Was Language Contoversy!!!!

Introduction Paragraph for Formal Paper

Pinker wrote "language is so tightly woven into human experience that it is scarcely possible to imagine life without it"(17). Can you possibly say this is not true? Although we as humans can not remember exactly when we learned the language we speak today, it had to come from roots or traits, leading us to our different forms of verbal communication. When did it click? What made us speak the way we do today? These questions form the base of many arguments over language controversy. The processes to learn a language come from two very different contributors in a congenital sense. Cultural interactions determine language development whether derived from the learning from cultural influence, or our biological make-up as human beings as the "instinct to acquire an art"(20). Therefore, "a common language connects the members of a community into an information sharing network...." that further defines how we continue to live and communicate, as our own person, and who we are as a community of language speaking human beings(16).
